President Donald Trump showed some frustration in the failure with the Justice Department to respond to the ongoing scandals involving the Clinton family, the DNC, the FBI, and the “phony” Russian dossier.
Friday morning before leaving for his trip to Asia, Trump told reporters at the White House:
“A lot of people are disappointed in the Justice Department, including me.”
Trump said that the Justice Department should investigate Democrats and the Clintons, sharing observations on Twitter Thursday night, responding to Donna Brazile’s revelation that Hillary Clinton’s campaign was controlling DNC operations and fundraising well before winning her primary:
….This is real collusion and dishonesty. Major violation of Campaign Finance Laws and Money Laundering – where is our Justice Department?

The president seems to be pretty unhappy with Attorney General Jeff Session on his failure to investigate the Clintons, even with the recent revelations about their “crooked” behavior.
Trump tweeting:
…New Donna B book says she paid for and stole the Dem Primary. What about the deleted E-mails, Uranium, Podesta, the Server, plus, plus…

He continued:
….People are angry. At some point the Justice Department, and the FBI, must do what is right and proper. The American public deserves it!

In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham Thursday, Trump spoke about his frustration with the Justice Department saying:
“The saddest thing is because I’m the President of the United States, I’m not supposed to be involved in the Justice Department, I am not supposed to be involved in the FBI. I’m not supposed to be doing the kinds of things I would love to be doing and I’m very frustrated by it.”
Trump says he wants the Justice Department to investigate the Clintons adding:
“I look at what’s going on with the Justice Department, well, why aren’t thy going after Hillary Clinton with her emails and dossier? It’s very discouraging to me. To be honest, I’m very unhappy about it.”
Trump went on to tweet he’s frustrated with Attorney General Jeff Sessions for not targeting the Clintons:
Everybody is asking why the Justice Department (and FBI) isn't looking into all of the dishonesty going on with Crooked Hillary & the Dems..

Trump does know however that he cannot order the Justice Department to investigate admitting to Ingraham:
“As a president, you’re not supposed to be involved in that process. But hopefully are doing something. At some point, maybe we’re going to have it out.”
Totally agree. The American people are outraged that the Justice system is not doing it’s job.
Me. Sessions, if you cannot or will not investigate HRC and her corrupt cronies, step aside so that someone else can and will.
Quite frankly, you should be asked to resign.
